Recipe Wednesday – Reader Request – Desserts

UPDATE: I know that I enjoyed these desserts tonight! I hope the rest of the family did also! I was given lots of good “blog material” tonight so I’ll try and put some of that into a post in the next few days. In the meantime, Happy Thanksgiving!

I’m making these recipes for Thanksgiving with my family tonight. If you’re reading this and you’re in my family, I hope this looks good!
